2021 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · PN21 ACZ

The most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, following two further clean passes in April 2025 and April 2024. This uninterrupted succession of fault‑free examinations indicates a stable maintenance regime, with no emerging mechanical or safety concerns evident from the official DVSA records. The absence of advisories or failures over three consecutive years suggests that the owner has kept the vehicle in a condition that meets the statutory requirements for roadworthiness. At 11,848 miles on the odometer, the 2021 CR‑V averages just under 2,400 miles per annum, which is markedly below the typical UK usage of around 7‑10,000 miles per year for a family SUV. Such low annual mileage often points to limited daily driving, occasional long trips, or periods of inactivity. While reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components is a benefit, prolonged stationary periods can introduce age‑related degradation, particularly to rubber and fluid systems, that mileage alone does not reveal. For a vehicle with this mileage and clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, as the rubber can perish even with few kilometres travelled, especially if stored in a warm environment. Check the battery terminals and perform a load test to confirm that the 12‑volt unit has retained sufficient capacity after several years of low use. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting and verify that the calipers move freely, as discs can develop corrosion when the car sits for extended periods, potentially leading to uneven pad wear or shudder on initial braking. Also review the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of cracking or loss of compliance, which can occur with age irrespective of mileage. Finally, confirm that time‑based service items have been addressed: replace the engine oil and filter if more than 12 months have elapsed, even if the mileage is low, as oil degrades over time. Verify that the coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid have been flushed within the manufacturers’ recommended intervals, typically every two to three years, to avoid moisture ingress and corrosion. A thorough visual inspection of the under‑carriage for rust, especially around the subframe, exhaust hangers and wheel arches, will help ensure that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains uncompromised after years of light use.
